A new consortium has been formed to address the growing challenge of decarbonisation and recycling of composite materials in the marine industry and beyond, with a long-term aim of creating the UKs first glass fibre composites recycling and re-use facility of its kind. Led by Guernsey-based marine consultancy Blue Parameters, the Blue Composites Project is supported by the National Composites Centre (NCC) and a number of the UKs leading marine and maritime companies, composites specialists, academic institutions and local government organisations, with the aim to break ground in composites recycling and re-use to address the key environmental challenges facing the UKs marine industry in its transition to zero emission shipping by 2050.
